<DIV>Wow, who knew all this could have come out of one joke about lousy cooks.
John must be proud of himself. And in a presidential election year, not one word
about candidates either.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>All I'll say about what works or doesn't is to repeat that every individual
situation is unique. I agree with Lance that a lot of superficial infatuations
are being passed off under names like "partner" as a substitute for genuine
long-term commitment. I doubt that God much cares whether a truly committed
couple has a license from the city hall, or exactly what brand of spiritual
commitment they wrapped themselves in. Taking the whole subject seriously is
what is important.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>As to my own situation, the lady's work hours are no obstacle. It took five
years to recognize we really can appreciate each other long term, and we're both
too old to go looking again. Besides, I don't want to look. I want to drift
together when I'm not even looking, and I did.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I don't know if I'm ready to type up my recipes, many of which are in my
head anyway. My source for Chicken Kiev is, (drum roll) <EM>Joy of Cooking</EM>
(1975 - I don't trust the more recent ones). Cottage cheese onion dill bread, is
from the <EM>Tassajara Bread Book</EM>. I xeroxed the page from my sister's
copy. I only have two cook books, but my sister recently gave away a few
hundred, and still has more than she gave away.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Your crock-pot roast recipes are interesting, but my father makes something
that I christened "least bad stew" which gives you an idea of how I relate to
watery foods. I like everything crisp and crunchy: meat, bread, veggies,
fruit...</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Siarlys</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>P.S. You've finally provided a justification for the automatic bread mixer
and baker machines. I never could understand why anyone with sense (that leaves
out the sheeple Lance often talks about) would pay $200 for such a thing. Can't
knead with arthritis... OK, you have a good reason.</DIV>
